Is the light detachable fromt the tank? I want to be able to rinse the cube in the sink, which would be difficult if the light doesn't come off.

I don't think so. It does make a little difficult to clean, but I just extend it all the way up

The light is separate from the tank and from the stand and the lid. Each piece is separate.

The light does come off, but the electrical plug remains on the back of the aquarium. I don't think you can remove the plug which is attached to the back of the aquarium. For additional questions call 1-800-526-0650 or go online at www.tetra-fish.com.

Thanks for all the answers, folks. :) I spoke with Tetra, and they said they sell different versions of this tank. The version sold at Walmart has a detachable cube light and filter, so it would be a handy-dandy little plastic cube I could rinse in the sink. It appears this one does not have a detachable light. This one costs less than the Walmart version.

The whole tank sits in the base and is completly detachable. Just lift cube out of base for easy clean up.

No you do not have to drain the water. All you have to do is stick your arm down the tube where the light is and unscrew the fitting that holds the light and replace your light. Also another thing, to change your light modes all you do is have your light on and quickly turn the light off and on until you find the mode you like.

The tank is not removable, just the plastic basket. I see no need to remove it. I use a mixture of just a little Windex and mostly distilled water. If it starts to look a little murky, I remove the basket and rinse it. Then carefully holding the cord and top out of the way, dump the contents out of one side, avoiding the control panel. Then just wipe dry.

I am not using this as a slider on my tank. I have it setting on top with a screen and it site on top of the tank rim and then I can still pull my screen out without removeing the light fixture. It is a great light and very strong out put though. Hope this help and sorry about the late resonse. this want to my work email and I was off Thur through Sun.

No on/off switch comes with it. You could plug it into a power strip which has a switch though.1 gallon might be too small for the intensity of the light. However, if you cover/mask the light well enough, it would be pretty cool. I say go for it, and get creative with disguising the light. Your tank will still pretty much be fully lit...could be kind of cool or even creepy depending on how you do it.

The light detaches from the top. However the light does not illuminate the tank so well. But it's a cute lil tank.

I was told you can not replace it. It's a dumb design if that's true. The aquarium light is not cheap so replacing the whole thing because the light is broke makes no sense to me. If you find away then please let me know as well. Mine is still ok but it will burn out eventually. Thanks

There are two sources of light. The nightlight can be turned off but the power light on the top cannot. It actually is quite bright and I found it annoying. I have resorted to putting a wash clother over the controls at night. The wash clothe is small enough that it does not restrict the air flow but if the rotating feature is on, I suppose it could knock it off. I suppose a loose piece of masking tape might work. Have not had to try that as don't use the rotating feature.

Yes, you can disconnect the light unit. There are instructions in the box that explain how to do this.

No it does not come apart for cleaning. The tank is seperate for cleaning but the unit does not come apart & the nozzel for misting doesn't come off,

I have no problem removing the light from the mount. Are you using the release tab to slip the light off?

the lights can't be chained togeather. When I had my lights in the water on the bottom of the aquarium, I didn't like the look. You could see each LED lite. I have them ontop of the tank shining down into the water. Much nicer, I think

Yes you can turn off the light when the unit is diffusing :) I really like this unit too!

that's a problem...if the water level is adequate and machine is cleaned, light should go off. Have you tried fiddling with removing and reinserting the water reservoir?

Yes, the light can be turned off. In fact, you have to turn it on if you want the light show. It runs constantly until the water/oil runs out. This seems to take 6-7 hours (I never actually timed it). It holds about 1/2 cup of water.

It actually detaches from it's holder that is screwed into your cabinet. So, it will be out of the way when not in use. I leave mine hanging al the time as it is clear lucite so it's not really an eye sore.

Ours is in the body of the faucet only. The pull out head does not activate the on/off function. This is a fantastic faucet in the kitchen; our only concern now is a "drippey" head? We have soaked it a couple of times in a "cleansing solution" but head still "drips" along with flow when "touched on" Foster 3/13/14
